Michelle got the idea for FlapArt - The Alternative Book Cover - from her husband:

Awhile ago, my husband Brian said "wouldn't it be funny if you were sitting on the subway reading a book and on the front cover it said, How to Murder a Complete Stranger and Get Away with It? Imagine what people around you would think, especially when you finally finished the book".

So here we are, there are 23 covers to choose from. Some are a little racy like How to Make Your Mother A Porn Star and How to Overcome Nymphomania (put that one in your bathroom, with a bookmark and become a hero!). Some are for the Do-it Yourselfer in the family, we all have one. For that person try Do-it-Yourself Dentistry, At Home Laser Eye Surgery or Do-it-Youself Liposuction. The kids love Perfecting the Art of Fart Projection and How to get your Sister/Brother kicked out of the House.

I fondly remember a Mad Magazine from when I was growing up that had parody inserts for Disney VHS tapes that I cut out and slipped in the sleeves. The only title I can remember was The Lion King: Return of Jafart, but I clearly remember the thrill in waiting for a friend or one of my parents to notice the fake insert when looking for a video to watch
